It’s here where everything that was set up by season three starts to unfold since - probably due to the steamy sex scenes being gone- Hector starts scheming his own way out of his terrible fate as a slave to Lenore and the other vampire sisters. Outside the main trio, Carmilla continues her plot her conquest of Europe from Styria, now extending her ambition to world domination. Meanwhile, Alucard sees his brooding mood continue to go south after the betrayal he’s suffered until his services are required by an ailing town near his family’s castle. That eventually leads them to Targoviste, the township upon which Dracula first unleashed his rage after the murder of Lisa Tepes, and where Trevor and Sypha set camp for a large part of the season. Audiences are treated to Trevor and Sypha’s evolving relationship, which is now feeling the strains of all that they’ve been through recently, although that’s certainly not enough to keep them away from their monster-hunting duties as a couple. Over the course of the first three episodes, viewers are quickly briefed with what everyone has been doing since the events that took place in Lindenfeld in season three, all to bring things forward six weeks after that.

Suffice to say, Castlevania’s final outing delivers yet another morning star blow to mediocrity by doing what it does best: killing vampires by the dozen, even if just like Trevor it seems a bit undisciplined at times The Castlevania anime is a rare beast indeed, having managed to escape from the many flaws that usually plague Netflix's westernized adaptations for a full three seasons now and continuing the legacy of a franchise Konami hasn't touched for years.
